About our Book Club

I am an avid reader who is part of a book club of 12 women who get together once a month at each others homes to discuss various books. We always have delicious food & wine and fabulous discussions! If you love to read then please take some time to peruse some of our book reviews, become a follower, add comments, suggestions or ratings and PLEASE share this blog with your friends too!

The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian

Laurel Estabrook was nearly raped the Fall of her sophomore year in college......this is how the book begins and from that moment on you are taken on a journey of twists, turns, clarity and confusion and you are left with a surprisingly twisted ending that will leave some of you overjoyed at the idea that you were completely duped or frustrated and angry at the way the author has written this book.
Our Book Club was almost divided equally by the two sides. It certainly made for a very lively and intense discussion, which is the whole point of Book Club after all!!
I'm certain that some of us may not recommend this book to others, (especially since it was thrown across the room in some instances) but I'm just as certain that some of us would highly recommend it and I for one, am one of those people. Since I'm writing the blog, I will take a small liberty and say that I could not put this book down and finished it in 2 days. I was delighted that I was caught off guard at the end because I tend to be somewhat of a sleuth and always try to guess the outcome in advance!
At any rate, this is a great Book Club book and will guarantee a good discussion! Enjoy!
